Students of the Week!

This week's Students of the Week are:

James Zinnbauer

Nominated by: Sra. Soto

It is with pleasure that nominate James Zinnbauer for this Week's 7th grade Student of the week. James has been an absolute delight to have this year in Spanish Novice 1. His kindness, sense of humor and work ethic are second to none. Everything that James does in class is top notch. Other teachers have wonderful things to say about James as well. Comments like "amazing, "always works hard in class,” “great choice”, and many other compliments were made by James’ teachers. I look forward to seeing James progress throughout the rest of his Novice 1 year and next year as an 8th grader in Novice 2.


Grace Deng


Nominated by: Mrs. Zhang

It is my great privilege to nominate Grace Deng for Sycamore Junior High School’s student recognition. I have been working with Grace Deng for more than one year. Grace is a wonderful young lady and she possesses numerous qualities that make her the perfect candidate for this event. Grace’s positive attitude, determination, discipline, and good citizenship are just a few of her outstanding qualities. Grace consistently impresses me with her perfect performance in Chinese language skills. This subject is very challenging; however, she maintains great interest in it. Every day she brings her best smile to my classroom and she maintains the highest standard. She demonstrates wonderful work habits in the class and excels in every task. Grace has earned A’s every quarter. She is also very kind and willing to help others to create a positive learning environment. Grace is also doing very well in other subjects. She is interested in sports and music. I believe that Grace can accomplish all of her goals in the future. I am so happy to have Grace in my classroom. I hope that her effort and positive attitude can inspire other students in this building. I am delighted to nominate Grace. Grace, keep up your good work!
